I rush outside right after breakfast. There is not much time.
The morning air is cool and fragrant with the smell of
honeysuckle vines, Dogwood trees and flowering Magnolias.
Birds are chirping and singing in the early morning light.
...

Gossamer wings with beautiful colors.
very friendly, peaceful and lovable.

So many we take them for granted

A ball of mirthful fur
challenging a loving hand
with a claw, and a bite,

lightening follows thunder,
rain fall soaks all exit yonder.

Lord hav mercy heah come Mr. Charlie,
He gone want his rent money,
and I sho don'tgot it.

My favorite time of year is unabashedly clear.
It is when the faithful celebrate Christmas.
Now on Christmas Day I get up and pray,
in the way that all the faithful are taught.

The leaves on the trees are starting to turn. Plants are morphing intodormant states, or completing their journey on this plane of existence. It is the Maker who decides.

Gentle Joseph wise and strong,
what do thy glean, is Mary thine own.
Do ye think it is worth thy while,
a virgin wife who is with child.
